Lucky are the ones that are permanent residents of wonderful places such as this Greek island. They will live an extra 10 years to what we all will manage. Good on you lucky ones. We envy you.
Love the island so much been out there 42 times. You must be mad not to like it. Be out there in 3 months time AGAIN!!. You can see my apartment in most clips. It awesome to watch them on from my veranda.😅😅😅😅👍👍
Been there three times, first time we were just about landing then the pilot takes us back up ! He then announces over tannoy “sorry about that folks I think they wanted to sweep the runway before we land” . So he did a quick spin around the island and then got us down on the newly vacuumed tarmac, brilliant holiday, 😂😂😂👍🏴
Hello Mohamed!As a greek hoster im more than glad yo hear that you enjoyed your time in Corfu and in Paxos.Next time you can check our property Spyros Aronis Apartments for your next trip to Paxos.Enjoy the rest of your summer.Byeeee
Footages from water observing straight-in of rwy 35 are the best. And night operations are cool too! But that planespotter's hotel is awesome, have to visit it too in future. I can imagine such spotting weekend at Corfu ;) Tks for posting!
I've also been about a dozen times in Corfu for holidays. The island, is highly recommended for all seasons of the year, except winter which is a little bit cold, humid & rainy. I always enjoyed the landings at the "Ioannis Capodistrias" national airport, as part of the fun of my summer holidays, since my childhood. The main landing strip (or corridor), literally, divides in two parts the little "Khalikiòpoulos" lake, about 2,5km far from Corfu (Kérkyra) city-center. However, I think that local authorities & the greek administration must take very seriously into consideration, that some day a new airport construction planning would be needed, due to Corfu's renown fame as a world standard tourist destination, for more than 150 years!
That's 100% true. However, given that Greece's main strategic interests & "hot" points are mostly located to the N, or NE(Turkey), many ignore the fact that Corfu, since 1864, is the main gate of Greece towards Italy & wes. Europe. An important key point,between Rome & Athens.
Espectacular aterrizajes me encanta la aviacion y que bonitos paisajes se ven en este aeropuerto gracias por comunicar con los demas estas cosas tan bonitas saludos
I went there in the mid 80s. The landing was amazing as we flew low over the sea, then turned towards the runway and appeared to fly between buildings down to the threshold.
Que bonito y que professionalidad la de todos estos pilotos si bolbiera a nacer estudiaria esta profession saludos desde Santa CRUZ DE TENERIFE ISLAS CANARIAS ./
We were stuck several hours at the airport in the 90’ because of heavy fog, so many people waiting in the building I had to sit for hours on my cabin bag. Beautiful place though.
Leider gab es keine Aufnahmen vom Steg aus. Tipp: Auf den kostenlosen Parkplatz auf der Kanoni-Seite, wo das Kloster ist, fahren. Von dort auf den Steg, der die Bucht verbindet. Dann so auf Höhe der Leuchtfeuer warten, dann fliegen die Flugzeuge direkt über einen und man kann sogar in den Fahrwerkschacht sehen. Für Aufnahmen von oben, über den Steg auf die andere Seite gehen. Dort gibt es das Café Nisos. Von der dortigen Aussichtsterrasse hat man einen tollen Blick von oben. Mit dem Auto dorthin zu fahren, ist sehr stressig bei viel Verkehr und man verpasst leicht die Einfahrt. Parkplätze sind nicht so viele vorhanden. Die Fahrt nach Kanoni ist ebenfalls stressig, viel Verkehr.
Just watched your video, and it sure bring back memories from my trip there in 2016. Which room did you live in at Hotel Royal? I can see from the clip (1:22 - 1:30) that it has an amazing view of the approach and runway. I sure would like to book that the next time I go there.
The landing strip is very short so the braking on landing is savage. Look at the first plane and see that it is braking the very moment the wheels are down! It's highly skilled stuff. I'd rather go BA than anything else. Their pilots are superb, the very best. The airport is nasty but the island is varied and interesting. Lots of culture, history and great food.
I'm actually from Corfu and my best friend from Boston came to stay at this hotel for some days, we drank our asses and woke up to this beach in this video. It was amazing, I'd do it again
